Saving This Baby!

So I went to Petco yesterday to buy some bedding for my guinea pigs and saw this cute little boy betta. very skinny and swimming on his side. I had to take him home.

Hopefully He'll make it. Do you guys think that his colors would stay the same or would they change as he grows?

I don't see any obvious signs of sickness other than just very thin.

 

Aww, so adorable, congratulations!
They will most likely stay how they are, just darken a bit as he matures.

 

Oh gosh he does look awfully skinny- I hope he gets better in your care!
I think that theyll change, even if its just by a little bit.

 

Yeah poor guy! they were feeding him freeze dry blood worm the size of half of his body! lol when I looked at the container he had half of the worm stock in his mouth and couldnt even it.

 

Awe, that's sad.
You'd think that they'd at least stop and think "hey. Maybe this is too big for them"

 

At least he was eating. Just feed him small things and hopefully he fills out.

 

ive been feeding him some live blood worms and just chopping it small for him

Good but he needs more variety to really do well.

 

I think he’ll grow and develope a redder coloration on his body. Here’s mine when I first got him. He looks a lot like yours.


And him as an adult.

 

I would also feed some frozen brine shrimp. Also to me all baby bettas look like that you can Google baby betta pictures and half of them all look the same.
